KLAUS NOMI 1982 UK RCA ORIGINAL PRESSING UNPLAYED/MINT

KLAUS NOMI
Klaus Nomi

1982 UK RCA (RCALP 6026) FIRST PRESSING OF KLAUS NOMI'S DEBUT
LOVELY COPY - POSSIBLY NEVER BEEN PLAYED (prior to my play-check)

It only takes a quick look at the cover to get a reasonably decent idea that this isn't your typical pop album: Decked out in a grossly oversized suit and heavy theatrical makeup, Klaus Nomi is not your typical pop singer, either.
Both the cover and the music within lean heavily to the dramatic -- Nomi's delivery is all in a very operatic falsetto, though most of the music itself is more of the early-'80s European dance school (indeed, one of his collaborators here was Man Parrish, probably best-known for his later work with Man 2 Man).
Only one of the tracks here was self-penned; rather, Nomi gets down to work here as an interpreter, turning in suitably skewed versions of "Lightning Strikes" and Chubby Checker's "The Twist."
The real highlights here are his take on Kristian Hoffman's song "Total Eclipse," and a rather straight reading of the aria from Saint-Saens' classical work Samson and Delilah
